How to Export Management Pack Customizations
Applies To: Operations Manager 2007 R2, Operations Manager 2007 SP1
Exporting a management pack allows customizations to a sealed management pack to be saved to a file. Because sealed management packs cannot be changed, the customizations made to a management pack are saved to a separate management pack file, by default to the Default Management Pack. This file can then be imported to a different management group. This management pack is dependent on the original sealed management pack and can be imported only to management groups that have the original sealed management pack.
You can export only unsealed management packs. For more information, see Management Pack Formats in Operations Manager 2007 Help. For more information about management pack customizations, see About Management Packs in Operations Manager 2007 Help.
To export management pack customizations
Log on to the computer with an account that is a member of the Operations Manager Administrators role for the Operations Manager 2007 management group.
In the Operations console, click the Administration button.
Note
When you run the Operations console on a computer that is not a management server, the Connect To Server dialog box displays. In the Server name text box, type the name of the Operations Manager 2007 management server that you want the Operations console to connect to.
In the Administration pane, click Management Packs to display the list of imported management packs.
In the Management Packs pane, right-click the management pack you want to export, and then click Export Management Pack.
In the Browse For Folder dialog box, expand the path for the location to save the file, and then click OK.
The management pack is saved as an Operations Manager 2007 XML management pack file and is ready for importing into another management group.
